Oh I forgot to post the baseball cards of the striking workers they were handing out. Genius.

is free speech an ethical principle or a hypertechnical constitutional provision? if the latter, what does it say about the constitution. are international institutions a pressure release valve or just another lever of strength?

@wyattprivilege.bsky.social, @garliccorgi.bsky.social and i discuss.

Fellow Seattleites: I beg you. Please do not reelect this absolute tool, this non-entity, this empty suit. Please elect someone who will put Seattle's purported progressive values into action. (Her name is Katie Wilson.)

Flight Manifests Reveal Dozens of Previously Unknown People on Three Deportation Flights to El Salvador Hacked data obtained by 404 Media reveals dozens more people on deportation flights to El Salvador who are unaccounted for. “We have not heard from these people’s families, so I think perhaps even they don’t know," one lawyer said.

"flight manifests for 3 legally contested deportation flights from Texas to El Salvador contain dozens of additional, unaccounted for passengers than a previously published Department of Homeland Security (DHS) list of people deported from the United States on those flights, 404 Media has learned."

Seattle chooses ‘a different path’ as it welcomes 501 new citizens, Harrell says The pathway to citizenship was not easy for those at the Fourth of July naturalization ceremony. For some, it had been a long time coming.

On July 4th, Mayor Harrell gave the welcoming speech at a celebration for over 500 new Americans at Seattle Center, saying that in contrast to Trump, “we choose a different path… rooted in… inclusion and a clear pathway to citizenship.” Unfortunately, his actions haven’t lived up to these values. 🧵

Trump v. CASA and the Risk of Statelessness For the first time in modern history, children born on American soil may be rendered stateless. The risk to non-citizen children is urgent.

Melissa Stewart explains how the Supreme Court’s decision in CASA opens the door to statelessness—exposing U.S.-born children to legal uncertainty, denial of basic rights, and the unraveling of longstanding citizenship protections.

this reminded me to check the beacon's calendar and discovered their american sickness series 🙏

Dems need long term signaling that caving to Trump will be punished by a future administration. Bukele should know he and El Salvador will be immediately sanctioned. Universities and law firms should feel zero long term advantage from capitulating instead of protecting their independence.

this inability to tell anyone their fears are unrealistic is a problem causing so many other issues- true crime making suburban women think they're going to get kidnapped in the parking lot, fear of property values going down if you build a halfway house nearby, fear of vaccine side effects, etc

i’m not saying ye wenjie was right or wrong. i’m just saying, i get it. i’d be tempted too

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

When Kittens Came to My Prison, I Had Not Petted One in 15 Years I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass.

"I had not touched a cat in 15 yrs when an orange kitten wandered over to sit w/me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive. It instilled in me a raw, unbridled happiness that I had never felt before, not even as a child."

I am a straight arrow.
I am a true blue kind of a guy.

i think it's really cool that like 50% of all municipal budgets go to fund guys who milk overtime to do this between 2 part time gigs body guarding where they also clock overtime when they're not playing candy crush on duty
